Three-Fifths

In a world where identity shapes perception, a biracial black man navigates the complexities of race and belonging while passing for white. Each decision he makes is laced with the tension of deception and the desire for acceptance. As his façade begins to unravel, he finds himself grappling with the painful truths that have long been hidden beneath the surface.

The protagonist's journey is one of self-discovery amid societal expectations and personal struggles. He is pushed to confront the lies he has told himself and others, leading to poignant reflections on race, identity, and the human experience. Vercher captures the intricacies of these themes with a heartfelt narrative that resonates deeply, illuminating the cost of living in a world that often oversimplifies the complexities of identity.
